EF Standard English Test
The EF Standard English Test (EFSET) is a free online standardized test of the English language designed for non-native English speakers.〔(Take a New Test Aimed at the World's English Language Learners ). National Public Radio. Retrieved on 2014-10-01.〕 It is the product of EF Education First, a global language training company, and a team of language assessment experts including Lyle Bachman, Mari Pearlman, and Ric Luecht. EF compares the EFSET's accuracy to the most widely-used high stakes standardized English tests: TOEFL, IELTS, and Cambridge International Examinations.〔(EFSET FAQ ). efset.org. Retrieved on 2014-10-01.〕
There are three versions of the EFSET: a 15 minute test ("EFSET Express"), a 50 minute test which assigns a score on the 6-level Common European Framework of Reference for Languages ("EFSET"), and a 2 hour test which assigns a score from 0 to 100 with a TOEFL and IELTS equivalency score in addition to the 6-level CEFR score ("EFSET PLUS").〔(Free Online Test Targets English Learners ). Voice of America. Retrieved on 2014-10-20.〕 All test versions assess receptive skills only (reading and listening comprehension) and do not assess writing or speaking〔(Testing times for English teaching firm as it taps examination market ). The China Daily. Retrieved on 2014-10-09.〕 Unlike other standardized English tests, the EFSET uses computerized adaptive testing methods to adjust the difficulty of the test according to the examinee's ability level. The EFSET is not a proctored exam.〔(EF moves into testing with free online exam ). The PIE news. Retrieved on 2014-09-25.〕
==Test launch==
EF Education First initially intended to build the EFSET for internal use as a low-cost alternative to third party standardized English tests, with the aim of attaining the same level of accuracy as those tests. Soon, the company realized it could gain branding benefits from releasing a robust, free testing tool for any English learner to use.〔(Upstart English-Testing Services Take Aim at Longtime Market Leaders ). The Wall Street Journal. Retrieved on 2014-09-12.〕 The initial public launch of the EFSET in 2014 was the result of a 3 year process, which included 15 months of formal trials involving 14,500 students.〔(EFSET Technical Background Report ).
